I’ve had barrels re bored years ago, who is doing this service nowadays? Any advice I’ll gladly take, who do I avoid and who does the best work in a timely fashion?

And once you have heard of him you need look no further.

Agreed. Should get a renegade barrel back soon from him. He is boring it out to .520 for me. Great guy and even better service. Hard to get on the phone, though!
 
Early morning. I did get him once in the afternoon. If you need to talk to him just keep trying eventually you’ll get him. A lot of people just send him the barrel with a note explaining what they want return address and phone number. He will do the job then return your barrel with a bill for full amount including shipping.
 
Right Now as of Nov. he is in backlog. I sent a Potsdam Musket barrel to him in Nov. I do not expect it till around Feb.2022. When i talked to him on the phone he stated he had a backlog of barrels. He told me to send my barrel to get it into the que as soon as I could. He said he was backed up and would not be able to get to it till next year. So as Of first part of Nov. he is running 2 months out. He is the best one but there is another barrel worker Whitacre barrels Whitacre's Machine Shop
 
I still can’t get ahold of bob hoyt, should I just send the barrels with a note? I also tried Ed rayl in gassaway wv and no answer either.

That'll work, if Bobby can do it one day you'll get a package and a bill. I usually hand him a barrel and tell him what I think I want and say "use your best judgment".

it just feels weird to do that, especially since I have 3 barrels to send. I’ll keep trying to call and if not I’ll send it with a note and hopefully I’ll get them done that way.
